Nebraska hosting an offensive tackle this weekend to experience the Husker Games
Nebraska Football has several visitors lined up for this upcoming weekend, and one guest is particularly intriguing. Class of 2027 three-star offensive tackle Ismael Camara will visit Lincoln, as Nebraska gets set to welcome a whole host of visitors.
Camara is the 39th overall player in the state of Texas and the 27th overall player at his position, per Rivals rankings. He measures 6 feet 6 inches, 330 pounds. The tackle also has a background in soccer, which could speak to his athleticism and impeccable footwork.
Currently, Nebraska has zero commitments in the 2027 class, but they have been extending offers and have a busy visit schedule lined up for the summer, particularly in June. The Huskers have made it a point to recruit offensive linemen over the past couple of years. They have begun to build depth on the line, and landing a player like Camara would help with that.
Nebraska is hosting multiple prospects on campus to experience a game-day atmosphere, with the Husker Games taking place this weekend.
The Husker Games will allow fans to preview the Nebraska football, volleyball and soccer teams for the 2025 season. On the football field, the Huskers will feature 7-on-7 games and skills competitions similar to the NFL's Pro Bowl games. Nebraska greats of the past will also participate in various skills competitions. There will also be a women's flag football game between Midland University and the UNL all-star intramural team.

NFL Top 100: Arizona Cardinals S Budda Baker makes it for 6th straight year
Budda Baker moves up 55 spots after another Pro Bowl season The Arizona Cardinals have three players in the 2025 edition of the "NFL Top 100." On Thursday, safety Budda Baker was revealed as player No. 34. He has made the top 100 for six consecutive years, and he made a massive jump this year. He moved up 55 spots from No. 89, where he ranked a year ago. Budda Baker in the 'NFL Top 100' again In 2024, he was selected to the Pro Bowl for the seventh straight year and for the eighth time in his career. He was a second-team All-Pro for the second time, to go with two career first-team All-Pro nods (one of his Pro Bowls and first-team All-Pro selections came his rookie season as a special teams player). He had a career-high 164 total tackles, second in the NFL, with 95 solo takedowns. He added two sacks, 10 tackles for loss, a forced fumble and, after zero pass breakups in 2023, he had five last season. Detroit Lions safety Brown Branch, a Pro Bowler last season, called Baker "a dog." Cardinals tight end Trey McBride also said that about him and added that Baker is "the heart and soul of our defense." Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams resorted to expletives to describe Baker, saying he is "a (expletive) in a game playing against (him)." Branch added that has "never seen anybody play in the box like him." Bills tight end Dawson Knox said that, despite always being one of the smallest guys on the field, "it's as if he is the biggest guy on the field." Knox and Williams both spoke to the force with which Baker tackles. Williams, a physical runner, "can't really brush off his tackles." What has Baker been ranked before? Baker has made the list every year since 2020. He debuted in 2020 at No. 97. He shot up the rankings in 2021 all the way up to No. 19. In 2022, he was No. 67 and then No. 73 in 2023. Last year, as mentioned, he was No. 89. Get more Cardinals and NFL coverage from Cards Wire's Jess Root and others by listening to the latest on the Rise Up, See Red podcast.

Maye and McCarthy show progress in Patriots-Vikings joint practices
EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — The top quarterbacks in last year's NFL draft accounted for six of the top 12 picks, and they had a wide range of results in their rookie year, from award-winning to not applicable. Drake Maye, though picked as an injury replacement for the Pro Bowl, had a bumpy debut while the New England Patriots went 4-13. J.J. McCarthy didn't play at all for the Minnesota Vikings, after he was sidelined by a torn meniscus in his right knee. The bright side for both players was plenty of room for real progress, which became a bit easier to envision this week during joint practices between the Patriots and Vikings. McCarthy stole the show on Thursday, producing perhaps his finest performance of training camp in terms of accuracy, decisiveness and head-turning completions during full-team drills, particularly in 11-on-11 red zone situations. 'There's going to be some throws where you've got to squeeze it in a window, some throws where he threw it up and over some guys and found some open grass with the ability to throw the football in different ways,' Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell said. 'All things we've been working on, all things he's talented and capable of doing, but to do it in this setting should give him some confidence moving forward.' O'Connell has been stressing to McCarthy the importance of 'layering' his throws, depending on where the defenders are and what route his receivers are running, so that every pass doesn't leave his hand with the same velocity. The Vikings have raved at every turn about McCarthy's eagerness to learn and improve since he was first injured a year ago, and that has shown up in practices with the way he's thrown the ball at different angles and speeds to the right places. The 10th overall pick last year was particularly proud of the touch he had on a pass to Jordan Addison on Thursday in the back of the end zone. 'I think I'm one of the most accurate guys out there,' McCarthy said. 'Just being able to take it day by day and really hone in on every single throw.' Maye made strong throw after strong throw down the field on Wednesday against a Vikings defense well-known for causing confusion for opponents, but the production by the first-team Patriots offense on Thursday left more to be desired, with the pass rush spearheaded by Jonathan Greenard frequently causing problems for an offensive line that has plenty to prove this season. 'We've got to give him time, period,' center Garrett Bradbury said. 'As much time as he needs.' Learning to lead New Patriots coach Mike Vrabel has been leaning on Maye, the third overall pick last year, to become more demonstrative in huddles and meetings. 'It's not that it's lacking. I always want more. I think I have to as a coach," Vrabel said. "We always want to try take a player and meet them where they're at and then be able to improve on that.' Maye said he has been embracing the challenge. 'I want somebody to push me to do more for the team, have more of an impact with the guys around me,' Maye said. 'I feel like if I have that and if I feel like I'm not showing it myself, then I need somebody to push me along.' McCarthy has turned plenty of heads with the Vikings for his beyond-his-years leadership potential. 'He doesn't feel like a young guy,' tight end T.J. Hockenson said. 'The way he controls the huddle, his energy in the huddle, how he talks about the game and the mentality is high-level thinking." Happy birthday, dear coach ... Vrabel celebrated his 50th birthday on the practice field, naturally, but he did have a favorite dessert in mind for later to mark the milestone. 'It's carrot cake. That's it. There's one answer. There's no hemming and hawing," Vrabel said. ___
